From Think Progress, via Cynical-C:
"Following the lead of a number of his fellow Republican governors, Gov. Mark Sanford (R-SC) has given some indication that he will not accept some of the money slated for South Carolina in the $787 billion economic recovery bill President Obama signed into law last week. 'At times it sounds like the Soviet grain quotas of Stalin’s time,' Sanford said yesterday on Fox News.
"On C-SPAN’s Washington Journal this morning, Sanford received a call from a Charleston resident who said he lost his job because he has been taking care of mother and sister, both of whom have serious illnesses. The caller told Sanford he is 'wrong' to decline the money. 'A lot of people in South Carolina are hurting. And if this money can come and help us out we need it.' In response, Sanford could offer him only his prayers."
Zztopdog note: Was Gov. Sanford (R-SC) one of the people who attended President Obama's Governors' Dinner last evening?
